ABSTRACT

If I had been told in February 2006 early in the Iraq War, back when I was first starting my website, HealingCombatTrauma.com, that a few years later I would have published almost 1,000 articles on various aspects of one topic—what it takes to help heal post-traumatic stress from combat—I might never have begun. Today, the site encompasses 135 different categories of material, representing everything from acupuncture to yoga, with hundreds of recommended books of therapeutic interest and additional groupings of first-person narratives from every war, to help readers better understand what veterans go through in combat and its aftermath. It has been called “a Library of Congress-like site” in its comprehensive nature, and, as one reader said, seems to be the only site that takes a look at “the full 360 degrees of healing” without promoting any one agenda.
